So with the new movie coming out soon, I thought about picking these back up and playing them through again. Only issue is i've moved to vista since last time i played them. Anyone know if they'll run under vista 32bit?
 
I have Vista Home Premium 64 bit and Max Payne 2 works just fine for me. However the first game does not. The sound doesn't work at all. I think there is a solution, which involves converting all sounds to a different type that is vista compatible. I tried it out but it didn't work for me.
 
Taken from the Steam forums


Download this:

Extract contents into the \Steam\steamapps\common\max payne
folder and run MaxBatch.bat

A command prompt window will open and wokr it's magic, it will tell you when it's done. It will take several minutes.

When done you can play Max payne on steam with working sounds, even in Vista.


I used this, and sounds work now.
 
I recently installed the first one on my Vista x64 box. Once I found the sound fix it has been running fine.
 
I just got around to beating Max Payne 1 yesterday. I beat Max Payne 2 years ago. Two great games and well worth the price Steam was selling them for this past weekend. I had always hoped they would make a Max Payne 3, but I don't think it will ever happen.
